Abstract

PURPOSE:To cut an EL element in an appropriate shape for use by providing independent multiple luminous sections between a pair of electrodes one of which is a transparent electrode, providing an insulating layer between luminous sections, and sealing them with a sealing member from the outer periphery. CONSTITUTION:Independent multiple luminous sections 2 and 3 are provided between a pair of electrodes 1 and 5 one of which is a transparent electrode 5, an insulating layer 4 is provided between luminous sections for insulation, and they are sealed by sealing members 6 and 7 from the outer periphery. When a distributed EL element A is cut in a star shape, the portions where luminous sections 10 of the outermost peripheral portions are made nonluminous by the infiltration of moisture in several hours, but other uncut luminous sections are normally operated and illuminated. Thus a distributed EL element illuminated in a star shape is obtained. It can be cut in an appropriate shape for use.

Generally, a distributed EL element has a dielectric layer 2 and a light emitting layer 3 laminated on a back electrode 1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Further, a transparent electrode film 5 is laminated thereon, and these are sealed with moisture-proof films 6 and 7, and lead terminals 8 and 9 made of metal such as copper into a mesh shape or a lead frame shape are respectively attached to the back electrode 1. It is connected to the transparent electrode film 5 and taken out horizontally from the sealed portions of the moisture-proof films 6 and 7 to the outside. Further, a current collecting layer 12 made of, for example, silver and formed on the transparent electrode film 5 is included in the light emitting layer 3. (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-122092) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, this type of conventional distributed EL element is formed by laminating a dielectric layer 2 and a light emitting layer 3 on a back electrode 1. Since the light emitting parts are formed in a continuous series and the whole light emitting part is integrally sealed with the moisture-proof films 6 and 7, it cannot be divided and cannot be cut into an appropriate shape for use.
